Disappointed to learn that the galaxy s2 will have a slider.....
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using Tapatalk
Rumor mill has it that there will be two versions on AT&T, one with a slider and one without.
A slider? Was ist das?
What's wrong with sliders? Some people like to have a physical keyboard, and they won't buy a phone unless it has one.
The business I'm in often has me working in sandy trenches, which murder physical buttons. I've ruined many a phone that way. Also, don't the sliders usually have less memory and hats disk space (i could be wrong)
Plus Swype is the shizzz
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using Tapatalk
as someone else already said, rumor has it that there will be two samsung phones - one with and one without a slide keyboard.
If there is only a slider, am I wrong to think that porting roms from the international sgs2 will be more difficult. I hope neither of these are the case as a bulk of our roms come from the international version of our phone currently.

I sold my g2x after i got my sgs 2. I have since purchased and rooted a gajillion fones to see what i like and to sell.
Among this phones are htc sensation x3, hd2 x5, sgs vibrant x5, moto defy x3, g2 x5, htc radar, htc glacier
The phone that xonsistantly walks all of these devices including my sgs2 was my g2x.
What i did. Purchased a moar den fubar g2x. All that was left was the main boahrd and camera. I purchased a digitizer and screen and put this thing back to gether just to make it up to the g2x and show it i was sorry for abandonin it and shiet.
The phone is workinh and i dont have screen blled issues at all. The whites are brighter then my sgs 2 #;&%'n shiet. Internetz loahdz faster &*%#'N SHIEEET.

My opinion on "MY" Thunderbolt is that it is a good.. But not great device. Battery Life is poor. Other than that, the only real complaint about the device itself is that the proximity sensor used to turn the screen off while it's against my head hasn't worked since about the second week I had the phone.. My Tbolt has had a good run. I will have had it 2 yrs this November. It has gotten pretty beat up with dings, scuffs, and chips all over it and a cracked screen (right across the "home" soft key) but all in all its still kickin strong.
Compared to my buddy's gs3 I'd say it, at least appears, to be lacking. The gs3 is a pretty cool device but honestly I think it's more of the simple human need for bigger and better toys that separates the two.. I am running Liquid's ICS at standard processor speed and I didn't notice much speed difference between the two phones...
I think it really boils down to device specific features and how the phone looks and feels that make me choose a phone and with custom roms and the basic customization of the Android OS they can all potentially be equal in that aspect...
That's my... Idk... 50 cents haha..
Thanks for the share.. I'd say it sounds like the guy is just trying to say what he can to sell his Thunderbolt lol

There is no "back to". A phone with a keyboard is superior. PERIOD. If you don't want to use the keyboard in a situation, don't. Use the inferior pretend OSK instead. But when you NEED the real keyboard (like you're typing out an email more than 5 characters long), its there to use.

The only reason I think people would want a physical keyboard is because they are to lazy to learn how to properly touch type. Even more, with the new swype beta I would never need a physical keyboard so it would just add bulk to the phone for something I do not need. All this is just my opinion though all in all, I LOVE my blaze and am satisfied and more than happy with it.

I know I saw an article about this and I don't know it anyone else has recently but it discussed the possibilities of manufacturers letting customers build their own device kind of how computer manufacturers do now.
I think this would be a really cool idea. I would love to just build a phone the way I want it but of course I would just throw together a phone with all the best specs
Realistically I doubt this would ever happen. It would take away control from carrier's and also manufacturers. They love having customers in the palm of their hands begging for a new device just 2-3 months after paying full retail for the one they currently own.
Just imagine how much that would change the cell phone industry?

I agree, I've built every computer I've used for the last 15 years. I just like the aesthetic quality of Alienware's products and thought it would be nifty if they would put those design aspects towards a phone chassis and UI.
If I had the money.. I'd do it. Question then would be how to like your phone without it infringing on another.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
I think that would make developing ROMs and kernels for phones nearly impossible with there being such a huge variety in hardware. It would be really cool for sure, but I believe development would pretty much die.

Yea, then you could pay twice the price of the worth of the machine so you can get a little alien head graphic on it.:good:
I imagine there would be some some similarity due to the standards that would have to be put in place based on mobo size, case size, how everything fits together.... I'd still totally do it. Ive already heavily enjoyed building computers. Would give a nice sense of control over a device that can so easily erode privacy.

Definitely agree, I believe us GS3 users are not as impressed as others. The gs3 set the bar so high, it's kinda hard to notch that with the s4. The obvious hardware upgrade is nice which I still don't believe android is ready for quad core, octa-core processors and again we might the least powerful one. All the camera stuff if you don't voice chat, then all that doesn't matter. Also the air wave is kinda overrated bet most of us won't use it,cool idea though. Might be stuck to stock browser too and for some reason I have never used it on this phone or previous one.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Not going to make me switch. I am actually more impressed with the HTC One due to the build quality.
I love my s3, but IMO most these features they have are gimmicky and I would hardly use majority of them. I will say the camera looks good, but also have been impressed with the Ones camera.
Honestly Id rather have a Note 2 over this.
I am sure it will sell well though.
Sent from a galaxy far away!
I'm not as excited about the S4 as I was about the S3. But that doesn't mean I won't get it! This phone will be too dope to pass up... Once I get that sexy beast in the palm of my hand, there's gonna be no going back. (that's what she said) Does anyone else think it's slightly weak that Samsung releases the S4 so soon after the S3? Obviously they know people like me will buy it anyways, but still.... Who wants to take a guess at off contract pricing for the Samsung Galaxy S4? Over $700.00? My guess is the $650.00 range.

The SIV looks just like the S3, that's the only downfall!
Other than that, yes.
I'll be getting the 64GB Version w/ a 64GB SD Card.
Don't get me wrong, its going to be a great phone for anyone who is not using the s3...
I just feel the "upgrades" are nothing plausible compare to the concept of s3...i mean i do not use all of the motions of s3...few additional ones are not going to change that because well...I wont' be using them. I do not voice chat so all the pretty camera things are cool.
Do I want it? yes...will I cough up another 200 bucks? Heck no! hell it wont be 200 considering t-mobile will probably sell it at what? 350? 400?
Its not plausable to the point I will drop my s3 and run after it...s3 set the bar too high for even samsung. This is like Iphone 4 and Iphone 4s...the s4 being the 4s...expect the gs3 blows the iphone out of the water so we wont even get on to s4.
Perhaps if the s5 comes around, we will talk
For me, I don't even like the Samsung software anyway, so all I pay attention to is the specs. Which means for me its just another notch up in the seemingly never-ending screen size growth of android phones; and some modest hardware upgrades.
I will say that the processor, new sensors (temperature, humidity & some others) and camera sounds pretty awesome, but nowhere near anything good enough for me to switch.
And Samsung with all its gimmicky software features is nothing in my eyes worth looking at trying out TouchJizz...
I won't be switching any time soon. Especially since I just upgraded on January 27. And it was a tough decision between this and the Note 2. Went with the S3 cause I got it for $99.99 at Target.
